Will this diffuser scrape on driveways or steep inclines?

Rear diffusers typically sit below the bumper line and can contact steep angles or high curbs. Check your vehicle's approach angle before final mounting and consider the terrain you frequently encounter. Proper installation height and clearance planning prevent contact.

Is this diffuser functional downforce or cosmetic styling?

The GT500 V2 design is primarily cosmetic, adding visual aggression to the rear bumper. While the vane profile mimics aerodynamic geometry, real downforce benefits depend on vehicle speed, suspension setup, and overall aero package integration. Install it for the look—any aero gains are secondary.

What prep and finish do I need before installation?

Sand the surface with medium-grit sandpaper and clean thoroughly before painting. This diffuser Requires Surface Prep, so you'll apply your own primer, base coat, and clear to match your vehicle. Work in a dry, dust-free environment for best results.
